The Whisper That Holds Me Steady

Your attention can be redirected in any moment, over and over. It is never too late to notice where your attention is going, to turn it in another direction if you need to. Lisa Olivera 

There is a quiet voice within me that has always been there. It doesn’t shout or scold—it waits. It waits for me to pause, to notice, to listen. Every time I ignore it, the proverbial shit hits the fan

Over the years, I’ve come to recognize this voice as my conscience—my inner compass and soul’s gentle guardian. What I’ve discovered is that when I block it out, when I override it or pretend I don’t hear, I begin to lose balance. I lose me.

You see, the conscience is not alone on this sacred journey. It partners with intuition—that deep, knowing nudge that whispers, “Pay attention.” Intuition nudges, conscience confirms. Together, they ask that I not only listen, but honor what I feel. Not just what is right, but what is aligned. Not just what is good for others, but what is also good for me.

This has been particularly telling in my intimate relationships, paying attention to my conscience and intuition was put aside many times and replaced by what I felt I needed to keep the relationship, convince the person that I am worthy and to keep me in my comfort zone.

In work situations, when I led with fear rather than conscience and intuition, those decisions were less than optimum for all involved.

My conscience doesn’t bark orders or demand obedience. It respects my free will—it knows this is my journey to walk. But when I ignore it for too long, I begin to notice the signs: a creeping disconnection, a selfishness born not of malice but of disorientation. I stop asking myself the hard questions, the necessary ones. I stop reflecting. I start blaming. And in that space, truth no longer flows freely through me.

Following my conscience anchors me in integrity. It’s a mirror, yes—but also a bridge. It reconnects me with others and with myself. When I honor it, I show up with clarity, with kindness, and with purpose.

My conscience is not a burden—it is a gift. A pillar in the foundation of my life. A sacred system designed to hold me steady, especially when the world feels uncertain.

And so, I return to it. Again and again. To that still, unwavering whisper that always knows.
